Hurricane ‘Yasa’

A few days ago, the hurricane was named ‘Tautke’ by Myanmar. Oman has named the cyclone ‘Yas’ after a few days. The word ‘it’ means ‘disappointment’. Cyclones are named after different countries in a chain system. Hurricane nomenclature began in the Atlantic region in 1953. Eight countries in the Indian Ocean region have been naming cyclones since 2004 as per India’s instructions. These include India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Myanmar, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Oman and Thailand.
